Stars and Stripes

via thehousethatlarsbuilt

Stripes are the motto of the day! Here a few impressions.

The invasion of the coloured eggs.

It begins when nature decides to increase the temperature over 0° C. Everything prepares to get alive after the cold winter and then ... bushes decides to pop up eggs. Coloured plastic eggs. Instead of tiny little green leaves or blossoms ... EGGS!


Is it a tradition? I moved here three years ago and it is very hard to understand. At the beginning of spring it is always the same act. And the eggs are spreading. Scary!


Seems like I have to break the rules, to swim against the stream.
What about some black and white eggs? Still 10 days to go before Easter, let`s go and create an egg a day!

Billy Wilder

"BILLY WILDER meets one's primary expectation of a shelf - to put everything in order. It is meant as a playful approach to the subject "our daily mess" and shall serve as an interim storage place for unsorted books, magazines and newspapers. The wildly growing rack makes BILLY "wilder"."

Crumpled City Map

This is genius. Instead of endlessly folding/ refolding, you just crumple up this map and throw it in your bag or pocket. Plus, it’s 100% waterproof and includes streets, monuments, museums, art galleries and much more.
Five cities available: New York, London, Rome, Paris, Berlin
A friend got this one for his birthday. He was thrilled.

An apple a day ...

Farm House

"The site is located in the centre of beautiful small village Mala Lhota in the valley of the hilly countryside in the middle of Czech Republic. Existing rural buildings on the site were in very bad condition and therefore demolished and removed. The main design concept was to create building which would be traditional, modest and friendly to it’s neighbourhood and surrounding village context. The form of the new building complies with traditional Czech rural house."
